Golden Boy Wins 4 Telly Awards In
Third Consecutive Year Of Victories
Golden Boy, the leading sports and entertainment brand, is
delighted to announce that it has been recognized by the
41st Annual Telly Awards with four wins for productions
developed by the company. Now in its third year of entry,
Golden Boy has won awards every year, capturing a total of
12 awards since 2018.
The Telly Awards annually showcase the best work created
within television and across video, for all screens.
Receiving over 12,000 entries, Telly Award winners represent
work from some of the most respected advertising agencies,
television and cable networks, production companies and
publishers from around the world.
"Year after year we are setting new standards for what it
means to be a boxing promoter,” said Oscar De La Hoya,
Chairman and CEO of Golden Boy. “Our in-house production
team does what no other promoter today can do, which is to
deliver award-winning original content to enhance the
visibility of our events and increase the devotion our fans
have to our fighters. We are extremely proud to be
recognized for the third year in a row. Thank you to my
entire team for delivering the best productions in the
sport.”
“Golden Boy is pushing the boundaries for video and
television innovation and creativity at a time when the
industry is both rapidly changing and heavily impacted by
the current crisis,” said Sabrina Dridje, Managing Director
of the Telly Awards. “Our theme for this season, Telly
Award Winners Tell Great Stories, is a true reflection of
the diversity of stories the community is skillfully able to
tell. Now, more than ever, do we need to celebrate them and
those that bring global stories to our attention. This award
is a tribute to the talent and vision of these creators.
“2019 was a banner year for Golden Boy in the original
programming category as we enhanced and re-formatted our
successful Mano a Mano series for our two mega Canelo
Alvarez fights,” said David Tetreault, Executive Vice
President of Golden Boy Media and Entertainment. “We also
unveiled our new series Off the Canvas, which featured one
of our biggest rising stars in Ryan Garcia. We are thrilled
to receive the three Gold Telly Awards for these shows as
this reflects the hard work and dedication of our incredible
team.”
In 2015, Oscar De La Hoya launched an in-house production
and media division for Golden Boy with the desire to control
the production and creation process of his live events and
original programs. Since its inception, this new division
has produced over 4,500 hours of live sports and original
programming. These include productions for DAZN, ESPN,
Facebook Watch, Syndicated Regional Sports Networks across
the country, RingTV.com and for international channels
across the globe.
In 2019, Golden Boy developed many innovative projects with
its production partner DG Entertainment, including Mano a
Mano: Never Back Down, a short-form documentary series
previewing the Canelo Alvarez vs. Sergey Kovalev fight which
won a Gold Telly Award in Sports Television Production.
Similarly, Mano a Mano: Canelo vs. Jacobs, which previewed
the historic fight between Canelo Alvarez and Daniel Jacobs,
also won a Gold Telly Award in Sports Television Production.
In the category of Online Television Production, Off the
Canvas: Ryan Garcia was awarded a Gold Telly Award, while
Ryan Garcia vs. Romero Duno was awarded a Silver Telly Award
in the category of Promotional Video in Sports.
